Obedience = Blessings
Why is obedience so vital to blessing? Can someone who does not listen and continually disobeys be trusted? How is trust built up? Obedience! Truly honoring the instructor!
It’s like building an emotional credit score, although love doesn’t keep score, wisdom says that trust does keep score. It seems only natural to want to bless someone you can trust and respect. The opposite is also true. There is no motivation to bless someone that you can’t trust or respect.
Therefore, obedience builds trust and trust opens the door for a strong relationship.
<<<< The Reality of Obedience >>>>
[Yeshua speaking]
How can I save anyone who does not trust me? If someone doesn’t trust me, they will not listen to my voice and then will not obey my voice. Have I not given you the ultimate reason to trust me? Was my life on the cross not enough? It was EVERYTHING! I gave it ALL. Didn’t I earn your love, trust and respect? If you do not trust me now, you won’t. The end is here. Make up your mind! Make a choice and stick to it without flopping back and forth.
I have so much I want to bless you with but I can’t until you obey me and my voice. Obey and you will be counted worthy of all the blessings to come.

Relentless Pursuit?
So last week we introduced Minkqua and you might be asking, "How does rolling with the punches relate to relentless pursuit?" That's a good question. In order to understand the connection, we should first make sure we know what the words Relentless and Pursuit mean.
Relentless - (re⋅lent⋅less: adjective) - that does not relent; unyieldingly severe, strict, or harsh; unrelenting: a relentless enemy.
Pursuit - (pur⋅suit: noun) - the act of pursuing: in pursuit of the fox, an effort to secure or attain; quest: the pursuit of happiness, any occupation, pastime, or the like, in which a person is engaged regularly or customarily: literary pursuits
What's that? "Unyieldingly severe"? That's really intense! So if Pursuit is chasing something down, then Relentless Pursuit would be intensely chasing something like a lion chasing it's next meal.
Have you ever been working on something and you just can't seem to make it work the way you intended? Maybe it was a business or civil negotiation that isn't working out. Maybe it's watching a teenager continue to make mistakes no matter how much you talk to them. Maybe it's a relationship that has been failing and you keep trying to make it work. It could even be something as simple as loosing weight. When that time comes when you don't know how you can keep trying and you are ready to give up, that's when the shift begins.
What shift you ask? Up to that point, the quest has only been just that; a quest or Pursuit. The shift I'm referring to is when a pursuit becomes relentless. When is that point? It's different for each of us but for the most of us, it's when we are physically and mentally exhausted. This is the point where your energy and drive is no longer coming from your physical being, because you are exhausted; it's now "All Heart." It's the point when those who are watching you can't understand why and how you can keep going.
In the movie, "Facing the Giants", Grant Taylor - High school football coach for the Eagles shows us what all heart looks like.
<<<< Mind Set Example >>>>
When you are rolling with the punches, exhaustion will eventually be on you like a latex glove. You are not going to want to get up and keep moving forward. The weight of the project will be so heavy that you will have to reach down inside your gut and pull the drive and energy out of your heart. Ever seen a runner pass out after a long distance run? That's because they were physically exhausted and running from the heart. They wanted it so very bad!
How bad do you want it? Are you willing to step up the pursuit? Become relentless about your mission and, if it's a worthy mission, well..... you will have a story to tell indeed.

Where in the World did that come from?
Well, I never expected such a simple little concept to go so far. My license plate reads MINKQUA. I have been stopped at filling stations everywhere and at all times of the day and heard this little question; "What does MINKQUA stand for?"
I could jump in and give the short explanation but what fun would that be? Would you really have a complete understanding of the emotion behind the meaning? Maybe, maybe not. I guess it would depend on how you define your dream and what success looked like to you. What would it look like? What kinds of sounds would you hear as you began to see it. Would you smell nature around you or the big city? What friends or family members would be with you to share in your dream?
The word "minkqua" is a noun that is represented by the activity one puts forth working toward their dream. Kind of like the word "love", it's not physical or something you can hold in your hand but instead is the evidence of certain specific traights. If we go to the root of the word, it's actually three words combined. Now for the origin story. There is an old Chinese Proverb that translates in english to "Keep a Mind Like Water", or in simple terms, "Roll with the Punches".
I know what you're thinking and yes there is a connection. What if you had a glass of water sitting in front of you. If you put your finger down in the water, how fast would that water move and make way for your finger? When you pull your finger back out, how fast does the water replace your finger? Would it be safe to say that the water in the glass is flexible to obsticles?
When you and I keep a "Mind Like Water", we stay focused on our dream/mission and don't let obsticles derail our train of thought. "Minkqua" comes from MINd liKe water (QUA).
What obsticles have you had to go through to hit some of your biggest achievements so far? Are you going through any right now? Think Minkqua! Keeping your mind focused on your next dream will help you roll with the punches that life has to throw your way.

Obviously, there is more to success fundamentals than "staying focused". Every week, we will be discussing success basics and how true wealth is created.
Check back next week when we dive into some of the best examples of tenacity and focused drive.
